I play tournament paintball. I play airsoft for rec. We don't get too many cheaters. If someone does, I somehow always forget about the 15 foot surrender rule and go bunker them like paintball. People tend not to cheat after that.

I wish paintball was on tv i really do....but im also glad its not......tv makes things mainstream and mainstream things bring in people who want to be cool by doing what every one else does..........i like playing with people who dont mind spending thousands of dollars on paintball not wannabe losers.

i mostly do softair in the backyard because i'm not good enough for pro yet. it's cheap and the adrenaline i get from it sends a thrill shooting down my leg. i go paintballing semi pro with my bros. it cost me about $1300 for every event for paintballing so i still get my softair on in my back yard.

I almost never play paintball anymore because of two reasons; 1. I cannot afford it. 2. Airsoft, in my opinion, is a lot better. I honestly prefer the realism and the need to not clean up the paint on your clothing after you are done playing.

I remember when my neighbors & I ordered some tokyo marui guns the day before 9/11. We had to wait a few stinkin' weeks for our packages to arrive 'cause the airways were shutdown. Been playing paintball since the late 90's and was still pball crazy when I bought my M4 and MP5 PDW. Also order a tracer unit (that thing was really cool) for night time "fun" in the hood back when I was an immature *******. Neighborhood kids bought a bunch of ****ty mini's for $20 on the net: steyr augs, mini m4's, mini mp5's and some springers that hurt like hell when shot up close. We held matches throughout the neighborhood and the neighbs hated every bit of it hahahaha. We'd start outfront of my house and the other team would hold down my garage. Hand/leg hits just means you can't use that hand and body shots and head were instant kill. Across the street was the woods line so we brought over a bunch of shovels & other tools to dig trenches and fox holes. We got kicked out of that place by the people who lived across from me. The ladies husband dumped dead grass all over our field and it became anaerobic & smelled like **** for a few summers. I quit airsoft after that and sold my gats. A few of my friends who I introduced to paintball are now airsoft junkies up in NY. I to this day never shot an airsoft gun since then. I had my fun back when they were new and I will leave it there.
